New Bold and the Beautiful pics tease a love triangle and a rekindled romance

The Bold and the Beautiful is ready to bring us some fun in the summer sun! There's already a murder mystery underway that has us all wondering just who was out to get [spoiler]. Come August we'll be bopping along to a tune by The Young and the Restless' Danny Romalotti when he pops past the Forrester mansion with Christine Blair for a little business and pleasure during a relaunch party for Brooke's Bedroom line.

Now, thanks to the release of summer cast photos, we've got a hint of what we can expect from some of the romances. Though one of these love-centric storylines we'd hoped we were finally past. I'm talking about the lopsided triangle that is RJ/Luna/Zende. The two Forrester cousins haven't been fighting over Luna since the newly minted Spencer is very much devoted to RJ but perhaps the soap is ready to make Zende an actual contender for her heart.

As expected, we got a shot of Joshua Hoffman and Lisa Yamada together since their characters are a couple. But imagine my surprise when I saw that they'd also took a photo with Delon De Metz and that Yamada and Metz have a couply picture as well!

Given the storyline with the mints, I didn't think the Bold writers would be circling back to a possible romance with Luna and Zende. Sure, they get along great and Luna genuinely cares about Zende but, with exception to a couple of brief moments, it's always felt platonic on her side. Zende's the one who has been deeply invested in what a future for the two of them could mean.

If Luna finds herself falling for him in turn, which hopefully would have plenty of build, we can anticipate drama being the dish we're served. Brooke is already disappointed and angry with Zende for betraying RJ by sleeping with Luna. She'd blow her top if she found out he was still pursuing her after his cousin finally got to a good place in his relationship after the mess that was the mints incident. Presumably, Ridge would be brought into this plot as well since Brooke and RJ managed to keep him out of the loop the last time. It's hard to swing that kind of misdirect twice.

Another surprise pairing is Carter and Katie aka Karter. It wasn't that long ago when the soap made clear that the two had split amicably. But, based on the photo of Heather Tom and Lawrence Saint-Victor, we could be in for a third round of the two making a go of it. Perhaps third time's the charm?

But, before Karter can possibly rekindle their fire, Katie's going to have to sort out her feelings for Bill. The depth of his relationship with Poppy caught her off-guard and it's made her do some reevaluating. The jealousy is very much in the room with us but there's also a nuanced take to it since Bill has never had deep romantic feelings for the mothers of his children in the present day. That side of him has always been reserved for Katie and she's been struggling with the shift in that dynamic. This is, however, The Bold and the Beautiful so, of course, she's already been reassured that she'll always be his Katie.

I'm intrigued to find out where the romances go this summer on The Bold and the Beautiful. Hopefully they're suitably dramatic, swoony, and fun. Stay tuned to Hidden Remote for more news and coverage!
